BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 8

Manders and LeAnne -- I can only imagine how tough that would be with the extra food restrictions. It's hard enough to eat healthy as it is!

But so far I am off to a great start. Today is day 6 of a low carb diet and I also did 45 min on the elliptical last night and 100 crunches! Now I need to increase my water intake and overcome the weekend challenges (i.e. eating out and alcohol).

wow K that's a LOT of water! you must slosh around when you walk haha. i don't think your bladder is small, just strained ... you are *working* that bad boy to death! LOL must be why your skin is so nice tho. i need to get a nice ginormous water bottle so i can start gulping it down at work, too!

are lean cuisines expensive in canada? they can be pricey here but there are sales pretty regularly where they are only about $2 (which is waaay better than the $7-10 bucks i'd spend ordering lunch with my coworkers) so i rationalize the purchase that way. usually my lunches will be salad with a little of whatever meat we have leftover from dinner the night before.

mel, i am right there with you about never ever learning. i have been up and down more times than i can count.

haha yeah, I do practically slosh around when I walk! I keep a 1L (32 oz) water bottle at my desk and just keep refilling it all day. Oh, I hope the water is helping my skin because some days it doesn't seem like I have nice skin...

Lean cuisines are like $5 - $7 up here, it's pretty insane, imo.

it's tough to conciously drink more water, that's for sure! But I'm sure you can do it Tash!

It's definitely hard to remember to drink water - we have a water cooler in our office, so whenever someone comes in to refill I try & drink some of my own. It's a good reminder for me! I keep a 20oz bottle at my desk, but sometimes I might only drink one of them!

Its good you love to eat, Manders! You just have to eat the right stuff, while being conscious of your Crohns... If you hated eating, it would mean you are anorexic, which is another "unhealthy living" style!

lol seriously Lisa, some of those lean cuisines are borderline unhealthy imo!

you ate your snack!?!? ruh roh! hehe No worries, is there anything at the office that you can grab? My office has a snack area they periodically fill with granola bars and such, it's one of those honor system things.
